This is clearly a case of 'stolen identity' or 'account farming,' either of which is bad for Hive. This person obviously does not care about her own reputation or the success of the Hive blockchain. See below the pic by @miyukidinay on the left and @misskaren on the right. And yes, the pic in the sailor cap on both accounts are the same, too, as well as others. 😠
Thanks for confirming @thekittygirl

Yes. It is a typical example of identity theft/deception.
There are a few scammers from Steemit who have been scamming Steemit and Hive with stolen identities using photo editing tools to create fake signs.
We have been saying this since 2016:
This type of verification IS NEVER A VALID FORM OF VERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These posts should not be upvoted for introduction and/or verification!!!!!
Unfortunately, many users keep upvoting these posts, incentivising these scammers to create even more of such scam accounts.
